If Programming Languages Were Religions

bshell writes "With Christmas around the corner I know we are all thinking about religion, or at least maybe wondering why this one religion dominates the rest for these few weeks. A fellow named Rodrigo Braz Monteiro (amz) posted this list comparing each programming language to a religion. Guaranteed to make you chuckle and generate a good long thread here on slashdot. Great way to pass the time as work winds down this week and we relate to our own programming faiths during this very special time of year. Merry PHPmas." Fortunately Pastafarianism is referenced.

>>Then we could excommunicate people for breaking coding conventions and burn them at the stake for buffer overflows.

Does this include people that space indent?

Because I might sign on to your crusade if we can burn people that check in space-indented code.

It's the best excuse, tho.

Once some dumb half-wit actually believes they'll live forever...they embrace that idiocy and uses it to justify horrible acts because they will live forever after they die anyway.

Belief in the irrational and unprovable is the real issue. We need to stop lending credence to the insane ideas that are religions.
